A huge happy birthday to Robert Pattinson, who turns 28 today and to celebrate, EntertainmentWise have decided to dig out some facts that you may or may not know about the Hollywood hunk. Enjoy!
1. His sisters used to dress him up as a girl - Rob previously told CBBC Newsround that Lizzy and Victoria used to dress him up as a female and introduce him as Claudia.
2. He's quite the bad boy - Rob was expelled from his public school Tower House, but refused to reveal exactly why he was kicked out. Naughty!
3. He loves animals - not only is he always snapped with his dogs, but he also saved some snails from his cruel schoolmates when he was a young boy and carried them around in a carton all day.
Happy birthday R-Patz! (WENN)
4. He started modelling aged 12 - after being expelled, it seems like Rob was eager to get straight into work, with him kick starting his career in front of the camera at a young age.
5. Not only did he used to get dressed up as a girl, but he also looked like a girl in general - the actor previously blamed the lack of jobs a few years after starting modelling on him becoming more masculine.
6. His acting career started at Harrow - Rob attended school's theatre programme.
7. He doesn't have any skills behind the wheel - Rob previously admitted to Harper's Bazaar that he "gets driven" everywhere. So how did he learn to drive? We've seen the pictures of him behind the wheel! Rob admits he only learned to drive Stateside because of "people honking at him."
8. Rob's double-jointed - when asked by Yahoo! Movies UK about any secret talents of his, he made the shock admission.
9. His football skills (or lack of) caused him a lot of pain - actor broke his nose three times as a goalie. Ouch!
Rob with Kristen Stewart in Twilight (WENN)
10. Rob injured himself on the first Twilight movie - said that he was "trying to pick up Kristen Stewart and almost tore a hamstring". Uh-oh...
11. He only discovered hair gel aged 12 - admitted in an interview that that year was a turning point in his life.
12. His dedicated fans often make it hard for R-Patz to go ANYWHERE- actor previously said that whilst he was filming Remember Me, fans bombarded him whenever he tried to stay in character, reminding him that he was not, in fact, in character.
13. Rob wore orange contact lenses to create that vampy eye effect in Twilight.
14. A fan once asked Rob to take a photo of him and her baby, only issue is...she wanted him in character as vampire Edward. The star previously said that there's a "photo of him like biting a baby's head." Standard.
15. He's not a romantic - when asked in an interview with the Today Show previously, Rob said: "I can't think of a single romantic thing I've ever done." Lucky Kristen!
